Pretty Ballarat Houses > I spotted this house on a walk and I just love how they've used a mix of 3 different lavender colours. Pink, purple and white all mixed together, my photo really doesn't do it justice. 😍 Have you ever seen white lavender before?

Can't believe this was from 12 months ago at the @sovereignhill Spectacular. I've just started putting together my shopping list for our next visit. Raspberry drop chocolate frogs, cookie cutters, spice mix and handmade soap are all on the list. Last year we booked into the photography rooms to have a family portrait which we used as our Christmas photo.

Have you been back to @sovereignhill yet? And more importantly did you taste what I consider their BEST lolly, the raspberry drop chocolate frog??

Something exciting happened yesterday in Victoria.

Something exciting happened yesterday in Victoria. You may think it was the fact we no longer need to wear masks outside (*if socially distanced) but that wasn't it. It was the relaxation of restrictions on household visitors. Yesterday for the first time in, well, I actually don't remember how long, our family were able to have dinner together.

For years now, every Monday night my family including my parents, siblings and my uncle & aunt have dinner together. It's the smallest things like my aunt cooking the custard with the kids in the aprons she made them, while we all argue over the whether custard should be thick or runny and if its lumpy. The custard preference is discussed every week and never settled upon. Our casual Monday dinner was such a small thing, a tradition we took for granted that was one of the most memorable parts of our life.

Back in Jan for Chinese New Year I filled out wishes for the kids. The boys asked for more custard, and more Mondays. I had no idea their simple little wishes wouldn't come about. So yesterday when people in other states were talking about VICs changes to mask rules, many of us were celebrating something else entirely. For me it was 5 special people walking in my back door. 💕

I usually love this this time of year visiting all the open gardens including our favourite event the @creswick_garden_lovers_weekend

🌹🌹
This year you might not be able visit because of restrictions (the event will be back in 2021) but if you keep your eyes on their Facebook and Insta pages you will see they have being sharing a few virtual tours of some of the gardens. We've also been loving walking the local neighbourhoods enviously looking at everyone's beautiful roses in bloom! Have you spotted any stunning local gardens this month? I'm currently obsessed with the climbing roses I keep seeing everywhere!!🌹😍

One year ago. We had no idea that 2020 would be a year spent at home and separated from so many people we love, but also we had no idea that it would be a year to make us feel closer and more connected to our community and neighbours.

A year where handwritten letters and home made gifts would become the most valuable things imaginable. 2020 has been both tears and laughter, love and loss. The shock of another pregnancy, business worries, cancelled plans and even watching funerals online. Things we'd never imagined to happen have been a reality for us and many of you this year.

Sharing cheer in a tide of negativity is a hard job and you may not feel like it makes a difference but it does. So if you've spread kindness this year, to friends or neighbours
just know you're amazing and from my family to yours, we thank you!

Here are some of the small things for us.

🌈 A friend posting me a pretty mask just because.
🌈 People creating Spoonville villages to make people smile (looking at you @spoonville_ballarat).
🌈 The staff at my local supermarket gifting me free flowers.
🌈 The pretty garden designs by @cityofballarat parks and gardens.
🌈 All the actors at @balnattheatre keeping everyone entertained with their audio podcast.
🌈 Seeing chalk art on the sidewalk.

Id love to know what things people in your community have done this year?

No wisteria histeria at our house this year. The snow followed by the heat got us just at the wrong time so our main plant framing the door was a bit disappointing. The waterfall wisteria on the left side of the verandah also struggled but my favourite wisteria plant that usually only blossoms a small amount down the far end of the verandah was protected from the weather bloomed better than ever this year.

I'd actually like to plant it somewhere else but I have no idea how to take a cutting so might have to watch a few Youtube tutorials! Have you ever grow a plant from a cutting or is it more something for expert gardeners? 💮💮
